OPINIOS 3

Being left-handed today can be synonymous with being great or creative, in a statement that has as little scientific support as the one that claimed that they lived less. If anything, they are survivors in a world lacking as much peace and justice as benches, kitchen knives, scissors, can openers and left-handed medical instruments. For example, if last Thursday the 7th a southpaw wanted to buy an adapted electric guitar from one of the most important music chains in Uruguay, he would only find one, a Squier Stratocaster, in the department of Maldonado and at $ 515. He could walk a few meters, on the other hand, and in a smaller store he could get hold of a Les Paul simile, at $ 760, $ 60 more expensive than its "normal" version (that is, right-handed). Choose model, color, price? Hard. Sure, it could do what many do: buy a viola de las common and turn the string; he would have to get used to, of course, not touching the tone and volume controls with his arm, which would never bother a right. Nobody said this was impossible: Jimi Hendrix did it and is considered the best guitarist in the history of rock. Other left-handed guitar heroes resigned themselves to "if you can't beat your enemy, join him": tired of not finding a guitar for him, Mark Knopfler and Gustavo Cerati learned to play right-handed, having the left as their skillful hands. .
